Heidi Whitman’s “Gray Matter" Heads to the Chandler Gallery

Thoughts and dreams don’t simply appear in our heads, though they often feel sudden and random. Instead, they travel from one part of our brains to another, creating a path of neurons and reactions that ends in our consciousness. In her upcoming show at the Chandler Gallery, “Gray Matter,” Heidi Whitman creatively maps these journeys in sculptures and drawings. The selections in the show represent the last year and a half of work for Whitman, pulled from different series that tackle similar themes. Drawing inspiration from urban architecture, literature and her own traveling experiences to destinations such as Iran, Uzbekistan, Morocco and Turkey, Whitman shows how, for her, “the structure of the city and the structure of the mind are conflated.”

“Gray Matter” is on display at the Chandler Gallery from February 19-March 15. The opening reception will be held on Thursday February 21st from 6-8pm.
